I know that the electric flux is a scalar quantity, but the concept of the Electric flux seems to confused me.
If the electric flux density is a vector quantity, how come the electric flux is a scalar quantity?
For example, I have the electric flux density: D=20i+2j.
Isn't it means that electric flux stick together in i direction is 20, in j direction is 2?
That electric flux density tells us that electric flux seems to be in i direction more than j direction, therefore it is a vector not scalar?
I may misunderstand something.
Thank you!
